I mean, as to the first part of your comment, maybe that's what she cared about it, but it seems like she got mad AFTER someone else won, which kinda makes it seem like... not the rigging she minded?

I totally agree with you about the representation of black women, but I think I interpreted what he was saying a little differently - I thought he was saying that specifically when black people are "the center of their own narrative" are they not portrayed as powerful world leaders/ changers (vs. his point being…

I have had to convince several housemates of the reality of "passive mess", e.g. mess that you did not just go somewhere and make like spilled soup, etc. (I have explained repeatedly that if you basically do nothing and make no messes, the house still needs to be cleaned.

Thanks! <3

My first thought was whether there was a stereotype about Polish people being hot or something, because otherwise why call it that?

I like it.

Back when we first started dating my now-husband did a bird of paradise dance around me with a tie dye sheet for puffy chest feathers. It worked.

I really liked this. I liked it better than the lithopedian story in execution: the balance of facts and philosophy was better IMHO. Please keep the historical, fact heavy but entertaining pieces coming! I would even like a few more direct quotes from the various musty old sources. : )

That this costs $200000 is immoral.
